Eyelid Lift Houston, TX | Fred J. Bressler, MD, FACS

Understanding Blepharoplasty in Houston

The American Academy of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery defines blepharoplasty as a surgical procedure that improves the appearance of upper and lower eyelids, providing a more rested and alert look. Dr. Fred J. Bressler specializes in delivering natural, refined eyelid rejuvenation for Houston patients.

Upper Eyelid Rejuvenation

As patients age, upper eyelids develop characteristics that can make them appear tired or aged:

• Increased skin redundancy
• Loss of defined upper eyelid crease
• Potential fat bulging near the nose
• Impact of low or sagging eyebrows

Lower Eyelid Considerations

Lower eyelid concerns often include:

• Puffiness caused by fat bulging
• Hollow areas near the tear trough
• Potential need for fat repositioning

Surgical Approach and Goals

The primary objective of an eyelid lift is to achieve a refreshed, vibrant appearance without altering the fundamental eye shape. Dr. Bressler carefully reorients and shapes surrounding tissues to create a natural, rejuvenated look.

Procedure Details

Typical upper blepharoplasty involves removing a small skin segment along the natural eyelid crease. Lower eyelid techniques may include incisions below the lid or through the conjunctiva to address fat distribution and contouring.

Recovery and Expectations

Most patients experience mild bruising and can typically return to work and social activities within one to two weeks. Fine wrinkles may see mild improvement, with additional refinement possible through complementary treatments like BOTOX.

Cost Considerations

Eyelid surgery costs vary based on individual needs. During a personalized consultation, Dr. Bressler will discuss comprehensive options and pricing tailored to each patient's aesthetic goals.
